IT’S OFFICIAL! I am officially on maternity leave. I’m a hair over 39 weeks, had a surprise visit to the hospital yesterday to double check if my water had broken (obviously it has not). However, things are definitely happening & progressing so her arrival is definitely pending and coming soon. I have been feverishly mopping, […]

I have worked with Smells Like Peonies Events on multiple southern occasions. We were texting late one night around 8PM about a modern, botanical garden wedding editorial that we would love to see come to life. By 11:00PM, a full inspiration board was completed and my flight was booked! This editorial is my favorite to […]

She emailed me a few weeks before the wedding and said, “We noticed how much you love film, we trust you completely, and if you want to shoot our wedding entirely on film, we are okay with that!” My heart just sang. I have never shot film at a real wedding really, mostly for editorials. […]
